The Seville metro (Metro de Sevilla in Spanish) is a light metro network currently under construction in the city of Seville, Spain and its metropolitan area. The system is totally independent from other traffic, rail or street traffic, every stations have got platform screen doors.

Old project

Construction of a metro in Seville began in 1974 with three proposed lines, covering only the city of Seville:

  • Line 1:
    • Stops: La Plata, Puerta Jerez, Plaza Nueva, Plaza del Duque, Alameda, Macarena, Pino Montano.
  • Line 2:
    • Stops: Santa Clara, Polígono San Pablo, Alhóndiga, Plaza del Duque, Marqués de Paradas, El Tardón, Rubén Darío.
  • Line 3:
    • Stops: Heliópolis, San Bernardo, Menéndez y Pelayo, Recaredo, Macarena, Cartuja.

This project was canceled in 1983, after construction had begun on some of the tunnels, due to fears that historic buildings might be damaged. The economic viability of the metro was also questionable in a city whose population had not grown as much as predicted.
